    Join me on my adventure through Tolkien’s Middle Earth as I build a guitar inspired by The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
    “It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
    “The Ring has awoken, it’s heard its master’s call.”

    Two minutes in and I'm impressed with the production. The sound, music, lighting, heck even the title fonts are spot on. THANK YOU! I have set through several videos of nice guitars where I cannot hear a thing, but the guy just keeps on talking. If your guitar is even close to your video quality, you should make room for a trophy! Well done so far. Keep up the good works!

Not only did you humiliate our Men's team, but you then went on to whitewash the Women's Team and then hammer them in the final of the Women's Cricket World Cup!! I'll never trust an Aussie again!!
